Title: Black Warehouses in our City
Post by: Hap on December 04, 2012, 01:13:37 PM
Bombed a country's City this morning, and again offline to double check things.  I used 250 lb bombs.  Offline, I could see the damage quite plainly where each single salvo of 3 bombs took out a block. 

However, when I dropped on the black warehouses, no damage was recorded; and offline, I could see no signs of damage.

Who is in the know about the black warehouses?  Is their hardness greater than the buildings and comprise a normal city block?

All City blocks on the island are destroyable have the same damage value, regardless of appearance. When bombing from altitude, the destruction can be hard to spot dependign on circumstances.

I wonder if he's bombing flak towers outside the city center (but "inside" the strat area (city))?... maybe.   :headscratch:

Ty, Lusche.  Next time you've 5 mins on your hands, fly over our own City.  You'll see the black buildings.

I know of the "black buildings" you are referring to, but I don't know if damaging them has any value. The city strat itself is somewhat of a confusing one compared to the others. The other strats' respective buildings are easy to recognize. The other day when resupplying our own city's strats I took some time to look around and I saw these buildings. I usually bomb strats noe and that leaves little chance to get to the city for me and I don't remember what the city looks like through the bombsight.

Let us know if/when you find out.

No, it's 844lbs. So you need 1x1000lbs or 2x500lbs or 3x250lbs or 6x100lbs (GP bombs)
